If you don’t have a previous league handicap we will use 80% of that nights score and other Thursday scores to calculate a handicap until one is established.

The scheduled does not allow for rainouts to be made up. Regular schedule will resume the following week.

· All disputes will be resolved by the league committee's majority rule.
League Format
· The league will consist of 16 weeks. The 1st half will run 8 weeks from May 16th to July 11th ( no league play July 4th) and the 2nd half will run 8 weeks from July 18th to Sept 5th. Sept 12th will be the beginning of the playoffs for the league championship. That night there will be 24 teams playing for the league championship.
** September 12th will be the League banquet night **
· Two members of your team will score each week. You may have up to four players on your team to
have subs available.
· Teams with more than two players must designate which two are going to play in the match prior
to play.
· Player’s handicaps shall be confirmed on the first tee prior to beginning play. You should make every effort to match the closest handicaps to each other.
· All play will be from the Blue tees
· We will allow players on a team not scoring that week to sub for another team. You cannot sub
for a team that is competing against your team. We feel it is better to play someone rather than getting free points. We will monitor the sub activity to make sure it is not abused.
· We will provide a predetermined schedule to 1 member of all teams that will show who you play
each week. This schedule will include a list of the teams, the members and phone numbers for each member.
· All league play begins on Hole #1. NO EXCEPTIONS.
· Tee time will be available starting at 3:30 and running through 6:00.
· Teams should confer and mutually agree on tee times for their match prior to scheduling a tee
time. Tee times may be made one week in advance. DO NOT EXPECT THE PRO SHOP TO SCHEDULE YOUR TIME FOR YOU.
· Pace of play is very important. Please keep up with the teams in front of you.
· Scoring will be 1 point per hole and 3 points for the medal play winner for a total of 12 points
each per week, for a total team points of 24. Ties on a hole will be a ½ a point. Ties on medal play will be 1 ½ each player.
· If your team has 2 players and only 1 player from the opposing team’s shows up and they do
not have a sub, the team with 2 players will be awarded 3 points; also the player who is awarded the 3 points will match cards for the other 9 points.
· If your team has 2 players and no players show up from the opposing team and they do not have
subs, the team with 2 players will be awarded all 6 points and match cards for the 18 remaining points. If both teams only have 1 member and no subs both teams will play for the available 12 points only.
· All matches must be played with the team you are scheduled to play on or prior to the league
night. Ex. Team 1 cannot post scores at 3:30 on league night and team 2 post scores at 5:30 on league night and cards be matched.
· Cards must turned in for all matches and signed with the correct points allotted for each player. It is each team’s responsibility to make sure all scores are correct and the correct total points are neatly spaced on the card. The card must be signed by a member from each
team for verification.
· The payout schedule will be determined based on the number of teams. Payouts will be gift
certificates for pro shop merchandise only.
· To determine the teams that will play for the Gold Division championship, we will take the
top 8 teams with the accumulated total points for the entire league. The teams will be bracketed based on 1 through 8 seeding. Tiebreakers will be based on most team points during the current weeks. Ex. If team 1 has more points on the last league play date in each half than team 2 then team 1 is the winner. If
tied we will work back by week until we find a winner.
·The Remaining 16 or more teams will be bracketed up in to the Silver and Bronze divisions making playoff out for these teams also. The playoff brackets are the same as above and same
rules apply. The next 8 teams will be in the Silver Division and the remaining teams will be Bronze Division. They will both be playing for prize money also.
· Playoff rules are the same as league. The exceptions are ties after the nine holes. If matches totals are split 12-12 after nine holes then a sudden death playoff will commence on hole one. At this point you are now playing just match play (not medal). All handicaps are still involved and if still tied after hole one, sudden death will start over including scores on hole 2 and so on until one team wins the majority of the points.
All rules interpretations or questions will be resolved by the majority of the league committee.
